NoRRIpGEwoCK.- Our correspondent writes
Dec. s; Messrs. Hussey { Conant one of
our clothing manufacturing firms, delighted
the hearts Of their employees by giving them
their husbands and wives, and lovers a supper
at the Quinneb assett Hotel Wednesday even
ing. Their pay roll is IS and this with their
friends made a company Of lis. The hotel
was crowded, but the willing hospitality OF
Mr. and Mrs. Osborn made everyone com
Portable. The balcony was lighted with
japanese lanterns under which the programme
was begun with music by the Norridgewock
Band. followed BY vocal and instrumental
music in the parlor. At nine o'clock the din
ing room doors were opened, and supper was
served in manner such as Messrs. Osborn
and George know how to do. At ten the
tables were removed, and merry threng of
dancers filed in, enjoying the mazes of waltz
es and quadrilles till one O'Clock, when the
entertainment ended. The genial counte-
nances of Mr.. Hussey and Mr.. Conant we're
everywhere present during the evening, and
the occasion will long be remembered by
their employees. Such festivals are q step in
the right direction, and are sure to establish
the best of feeling between employers and
employed.

Land Decisions Approved.

Two decisions made by the officials Of
the land Office and forwarded to Washing
ton have been returned with the approval
of the commissioner attached.
The entries in question were made on
desert" land on the Laramie river, near
Laramie City, and are now held for can
collation..
In the case of the United States ex rel
Jas. A. George VS.. Simon Bales, for
desert entry No. 1888, comprising the east
half and south half of the southwest
quarter of section IL, township IA north,
of range rs, the allegation of the settlers
that it is desert land is not supported by
the evidence, and the bitches claimed to
have been run were not observable.
Matte Bales contested for desert entry
No. 1888, the cast half and south half of
the southwest quarter of section IA, town
ship IA north, OF range rs west. The
larger portion of the land produced a first
class hay crop and was purely marshy.
Outside a few short bitches connecting
sloughs and a small amount of fencing
there were no improvements. In consid-
ering the evidence in this case, the deci-
sion says that ''the land is not and never
was desert land" a statement which
seems to be borne out by the facts in the
matter.

Better Where He Was.

A Laramie la was saving wood in a
back yard the other day. He severed two
sticks about as thick as a mans wrist and
then went into the house. MARY" said
he to his wife, this county needs me;
there's nc use talking, we've Just got to
capture those escaped prisoners, and no
true citizen can be expected to hang
around a wood pile this day. John"
replied his wife, IF you chase fugitives as
well as you saw wood and support your
family it will take ITO like you to catch
a sick female convict, and then you'd
have to throw pepper in her eyes" 1t is
needless to remark that John returned to
the wood pile.

ESCAPES.
A Prospective Mormon Leaves His
Family Rather THAI Enter Utah.

There was a family on last evenings
express that wasn't all there, so to speak.
They were Mormon converts bound for
Salt Lake, and the mans name was VIM.
A. Scott and his family consisted Of a
wife and nine children. The missing
member of the family was Geo. l.. Scott,
a boy 10 years of age. He had objected
to joining the saints ever since the aggre-
CATION left Liverpool, and had threatened
to decamp at the first opportunity, but
was closely watched by the father, a brut-
ish specimen of understood humanity,
who even last night alternately cursed his
offspring and extolled the desirability of a
residence in Utah. Just AS the train was
leaving Atkins, fourteen miles cast ofthis
city, the escaped boy jumped to the
ground and made for the foothills at race
horse speed. The conductor was not noti-
fed of the occurrence until the train was
fully five miles from the station. and did
not have time to return. Though the
boys mother wept, his paternal an
CeSUOr maintained an uncOncerneu All
and remarked with a wicked leer: 1.-THE
worthless pup will probably hunt me up
when he becomes penniless and hungry"
The young man had conversed with the
train hands about his situation and had
several times said that he would leave but
for a sister for whom he seemed
to entertain great respect and love. He
probably thought he was much nearer
Salt Lake than was really the case. Scott,
ST., requested several people about the
depot to notify the police of his sons es.
cape and to have him taken into custody,
but as the boy is reported by the other
passengers to be honest and intelligent,
and apparently willing to work, it will
probably be some time before he is ar
rested. In the meantime the remainder
of the family will attach themselves to
President Taylor's faithful flock and as
sist in the violation of the United States
statutes in Utah.

A RECOLLECTION.
How Mosier, the Murderer, was Cap
tured by Peter sweeny, of Lusk.

Peter Sweeny, who has been in the city
several weeks past detained as a witness
In the Mccoy case, is now in business at
Lusk, but was formerly deputy sheriff at
Fort Collins, Col. This Is the Peter
Sweeny who captured Mosier, the inhu-
man wretch who as~sasinated one man and
disabled another for life near Fort Russell
several years ago. Everyone remembers
how he was brought up from Colorado
one Sunday morning and lynched by a
nob of indignant citizens at the corner of
Eddy and Nineteenth streets. Elk Secre-
tary Morgan made an eloquent plea for
for the mans life, but received the
nswer We like you, Mr.. Morgan, but
don't like your talk" Mosier made no
resistance and met his fate rather bravoly,
only requesting that the party be post
poned until the next evening, when he
would present a written statement of the
particulars OF the murder. His request
was not granted, however. and the coro-
ner took charge of his remains about 9
O'Clock the next morning.
Mosier, though guilty of a cowardly
crime, was known to be a man who would
not hesitate to shoot when it became alb
s%olutely necessary, but when he was heard
of in the vicinity of Fort Collins the Off
Gals here announced that Pete Sweeney"
would bring him into camp" and Pete
did it. Sweeney and the sheriff were
riding in d buggy when they met Mosier.
Sweeney recognized the fugitive and
asked BIN the road to Louisville, a coal
mining town in that vicinity, and as
Mosier was pointing out the direction
Sweeney drew his revolver and ordered
the footman to throw up his hands. The
arms went up instantly as a matter of
course, and Mosier was disarmed and
haudcuffed. While enroute to Cheyenne
the prisoner remarked that he didn't sup
pose he would survive long after reaching
here. The Colorado sheriff anticipated
the lynching and insisted upon receiving
the $500 reward offered for the apprehen-
sion of Mosier Immediately upon his de-
livery, although it was Sunday. He was
paid the money, and spent about a week
in the city before returning to Fort Col
Inns.

To the Editor of The Leader.
CHEYENNE, July z2.-Will you be
kind enough to give the following no
tice: Hereafter we will see that the law is
enforced against those who break open
and destroy our houses whenever we
have proof. The reason is the officers of
the law complain hat compounding
felony interferes with the execution OF
the law, and we know by experience thai
it tends to destruction of property. Par
ents will have to bear the odium and ex-
pense of not governing their boys.

A request was yesterday received at the
governor Office from Prosecuting Attor-
ney Corthell, of Albany county, that a re-
ward be offered for the apprehension of
the prisoners who recently escaped from

Shannon, who replied that as the gov
eruor was in the territory, though absent
from the city, he could not exercise exec
utive authority even though he felt per
sonally that such action was advisable.
